Zelyonaya pricheska, Devicheskaya grud`, O, tonkaya berezka, Chto zaglyadelas` v prud? Chto shepchet tebe veter? O chem zvenit pesok? Il` xochesh` v kosy'-vetvi Ty' lunny'j grebeshok? Otkroj, otkroj mne tajnu Tvoix drevesny'x dum, YA polyubil pechal`ny'j Tvoj predosennij shum. I mne v otvet berezka: "O, lyubopy'tny'j drug, Segodnya noch`yu zvezdnoj Zdes` slezy' lil pastux. Luna stelila teni, Siyali zelenya. Za goly'e koleni On obnimal menya. I tak, vdoxnuvshi glubko, Skazal pod zvon vetvej: "Proshhaj, moya golubka, Do novy'x zhuravlej".
